I mean I'm 22 and don't have any real emotional connection with 9/11. My only emotion around it is basically just how the neolib and neocon establishment handled the, uh, aftermath.

Anyone else think it's FTW how in the almost 20 years since the supposedly greatest American tragedy we have not once even acted diplomatically against the perpetrators of 9/11

Its really funny because when I was in the military, everyone from rank and file airmen like me to the wing commander complained about how the personnel/actual unit funding was at ridiculous all-time lows but for some reason R&D and production contracts are like 80% of the national budget or whatever

The USMIC is little more than an elaborate scheme to reappropriate public funds into the private sector. Even the CIA and FBI have to massively outsource intelligence work to private contractors because of artificial caps placed on government agencies in terms of employment & salaries. Generally speaking no government employee is supposed to earn a bigger salary than a congressman, and the same is true of the military. Max base salary for a four star general is only $180,000. You'd have to be insanely principled not to do grift work for private companies which can guarantee you twice that amount for consultancy in "retirement." I did the math once and if I ate at the chow hall for 2 roughly 1250 calorie meals a day, it would end up costing like $700 a month at like ~$13 a meal. The stipend the Air Force gave me in lieu of free meals was $230 or so.

Also I didn't get that stipend nor was I registered for meal cards for like 8 months, and when I was getting it sorted out my chief didn't let me get the meal card even when I pointed out how it was a massive rip off since I usually ate at the chow hall anyway

The only expansion on the GWOT I would support would be tactical strikes on every living member of the House of Saud

I'm aware of the extent of the GWOTs horror. It's just like, it would be nice if we kept up the part where we use the military to send doctors to fight Ebola or distribute MREs and not the part where we blow apart a neighborhood and kill 60 people to get like 2 'combatants'
